John 14:9
Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time?” It always startles us when someone we ‘think’ we know well, so well we have committed to following after Him, proclaims, “You still don’t know me even after all these years?” And no --- years of following will not, by proximity, create this ‘knowing Him’. Jesus may not rebuke us for our lack of knowing, still it surprises us.
Here is the rub, this yet to be known can only be discovered through an intimacy that has yet to be explored, yet to be experienced, yet to be entered into. This intimacy is not offered to everyone; instead, only to those who have experienced and embraced prior moments of intimacy, unlocking the doorway to today’s intimacy. Be warned, what you discover and experience will not always please you,
Only those who dare to evolve in the understanding of Jesus will come to know Him in the intimacy of today’s moment. Pastor Dick
